I have a 'broken' GTX280 here, it MIGHT boot in the server rig. it had a green light with 100% fan but NO DISPLAY before. I always suspected my VGA monitor but i will see how it goes in the server. I'll try it tomorrow! fingers crossed, i'll then have some serious PPD then even if it does only 2-3 WU it'll be great!

If you get picture, make sure you run MemtestCL or the OCCT GPU test for a few hours to see if the card still computes reliably.

This reminds me of the fact that with Ballistix modules, some motherboards have difficulties reading the SPD info (if any of that is available). So best make sure you set the frequency, clock and latencty settings manually in order to guarantee stability.

I can see from the first Free-DC update that I'm not the only one that ran dry yesterday. For me it seems like people with multiple 7970 all have a to small buffer when they make "maintenance". I went empty and stayed like that for 3 hours and 20 minutes. My question to HammerON, t_ski and manofthem is - how big is your buffer (setting and real run time) and did you run dry. If anybody else with multiple GPUs ran dry yesterday I like to know.

It seems like at least Sekebob thinks that the buffer will go up to 3000 WU but in two of my three rigs I can't get more then 600 and with 150 WUs completed each hour I ran dry three times the past 10 days.

My buffer is currently set to default:
I haven't run out as far as I know. I backed the rig down to 8 WU's per GPU as I was getting some random WU error's.
Might pump it up again as I re-installed 12.10 a little bit after adding the third 7970. I will move my buffer up a bit too

Installed windows and started setting up windows with drivers when the machine just shut off! so I started it back and it got to the windows start screen and shut off again! Well two more times I finally got in the bios and the CPU was 105deg cel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Asetek pump died... FML
